The Christian’s Role in Government

Why should Christians be involved in government? Godly people engaged in government influence godly outcomes. Examples of Christians in government abound, including Joseph, Daniel, and Nehemiah, who brought godly outcomes even in ungodly governing systems.

In Matthew 5:13, Jesus calls us to be the salt of the earth. Because the Church is no longer “salty,” our society is decaying morally and spiritually.

How can Christians be the salt of the earth? By seeking first the kingdom of God (Matthew 6:33).

As Christians, our allegiance must first be to the Kingdom of God and the multi-ethnic family of God. If we seek the Kingdom of God first, we will think biblically, not merely politically.

The Church needs to repent of political idolatry, compromise morally, and spiritual apathy. Only then will the Church again become “salty” – the moral conscience of society.

Join Pastor Phil Hopper as he shares biblical examples of Christians in government and practical ways we can be “the salt of the earth” in politics.
